Silicon Vision Technologies Ltd., a provider of high-performance, low-power radio frequency (RF) intellectual property (RFIP) and Mindtree Ltd., a global information technology solutions company, recently partnered to introduce a state-of-the-art, integrated RF-baseband-stack intellectual property (IP) solution for Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as Bluetooth Smart) technology.


The partnership aims to offer a complete Bluetooth Low Energy intellectual property solution for wireless personal area networks

Officials with Silicon Vision Technologies said that the integrated solution will enable wireless personal area networks (WPAN) that rely on extremely low power consumption wireless connectivity.

The two companies successfully integrated Silicon Vision’s RF PHY (radio) intellectual property for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), with Mindtree’s product-proven, fully-qualified baseband (link layer) and low-footprint protocol stack.

According to company officials, this integrated solution is compliant with Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 (single mode) specification with a highly competitive power consumption figure, enabling system-on-a-chip (SoC) designers to deliver power and area efficient chips for BLE using qualified and proven silicon over several nodes, including TSMC and SMIC.

“We have developed a unique licensable RF intellectual property solution that supports Bluetooth low energy. With Mindtree dominating the independent IP provider space worldwide for BLE baseband, protocol stack and profiles today, we believe that our integrated solution will help realize the vision of millions of consumer electronics products to operate wirelessly for months or even years on tiny cell batteries,” said Tarek Elesseily, CEO of Silicon Vision, in a statement.

“Our aim is to be the market leader within this sector with our ultra-low power, fully integrated and quickly portable solution forming part of many consumer electronics products,” said Elesseily.

Vikram Srivats, general manager and global head of Mindtree’s engineering R&D service line, said the company is enthusiastic about the Silicon Vision relationship.

Srivats said that Mindtree’s investment in BLE technology spans more than 100 person-years, with several design wins and customer products shipping in volume already.

He said that Silicon Vision brings a silicon-proven RF-PHY solution for BLE, a strong team with ultra low-power RF expertise, and design services ability to quickly scale and meet customer requirements across foundries.

“With a fully integrated, silicon-proven, qualified and mature solution, our sales teams are already bidding together for new designs worldwide,” said Srivats.
